News of My Marriage are Greatly Exaggerated

In case you're wondering, this aint me. I went to the Caye Caulker message board and saw congratulations are in order for the wedding that was not to be. Bigness ordered the rings weeks ago, and brought home the very confusing application form, and then our prep cook/opener left for a week to attend to her daughter who was delivering a child on the mainland.

Most Caye Caulker restaurants shop on Tuesday. If you're at the local suppliers on Tuesdays, you'll most likely run into your competitors. The race is on for fresh spinach. We bring big plastic bins and coolers with us. The cargo going thru the water taxi terminal is a mile high, and you have...
